Relief For Tuition Fees

Relief for fees paid for Foreign Language/I.T. Courses (Section 476, TCA 1997)

It has come to Revenue’s attention that a recent list supplied by FÁS detailing the courses and colleges, which are approved for the relief for fees paid for training courses, was not complete. As a result individuals who may have applied for the relief may have been refused the relief.

FÁS has now provided a revised list, which is available on Revenue’s Internet site, and they have notified the affected course providers.

Where a person is aware of any claim that has been refused they should consult the revised list to clarify if the training course and college are approved by FÁS. If the course and college are approved they should make application to their tax district to have the claim admitted.
